One of the outstanding plays presented was The Case of Suspension, which is well remembered. At our first class meeting, we chose Dennis Patton as president, Elwin Fleck as vice president, Jurene Soder as secretary, and Vionne Koepp as treasurer. As our freshman student council representa- tives, we chose Mary Ann Kinney, Audrey Trushenski. Janice Wittkowski. Betty Tietz, Elwin Fleck, and Ken Bureka. We ended our freshman year with a picnic at the Wilson Park with muddy shoes and rain-soaked sand- wiches. The following year took us up to the Senior High School as unappreciated little sopho- mores. To carry us through the year, we elected: president, Dale Strongg vice presi- dent, Bob Russell, and J urene Soder as secret- ary-treasurer. Highlighting this year was the Valentine party punctuated by many groans from the party-goers due to the strawberry pop. This party was made a success by the help of our advisers: Mr. Earl Bohm and Miss Mary Lee Smith. We helped close the year with a bang at our first school picnic at Little Rock Lake. Moving up to our junior year with confi- dence, we found ourselves very busy electing officers. Dennis Patton was chosen president, Louis Otto, vice presidentg and Lavonne Hom- merding, secretary-treasurer. Our choice for attendants to the Homecoming Queen were: Vionne Koepp and Mary Ellen Kardash. As our Junior Class play, we presented a comedy, The Bachelor's Wife. The whole audience rolled in the aisles at the antics of Babe Fleck, Dennis Patton, and Mary Alyce Schloeder. U Our classmates were already carrying the laurels in all extra-curricular activities. Ath- letic fans were cheering our athletes on, the stars being, Lou Otto, Clint Cossairt, Bill Zwick, and Denny Patton. Speech activities were not ignored by our students, with Mary Ellen Kardash, Vionne Koepp, and Denny Patton carrying most of the honors in this de- partment. We ended our third year by entertaining the seniors at a formal prom, using a rainbow theme. The affair was under the direction of Miss Marian Linneman, assisted by junior committees. The school picnic was held and enjoyed at Little Rock Lake again, with ideal weather adding to the enjoyment. Page Nineteen

Our class production this year was the comedy, Little Women. Starred in the play were Betty Tietz as the tomboy, Jo, and Clint Cossairt as the handsome Laurie.
